Dame Felicity Lott provides a splendidly traditional recipe of glorious music to accompany the mouth watering pudding on the front cover of this disc! Seriously speaking this is a loving collection of firm favourites, long forgotten rarities and a mixture of both sung with wonderful verve and élan by the great soprano.

The twenty four pieces provided here are too numerous to discuss in their entirety but there is definitely something for everyone. The Joyful Company of singers under the fair hand of Peter Broadbent sing with conviction and obvious enjoyment whilst the copious notes on each and every piece married with a warm and entirely natural recording make this disc hard to resist. A winner through and through!
